There’s been same nice softies in the mail for me and I have also sent off a few.This is the Santa Sack with goodies I sent to my partner Christine.and here is the beautiful Sack Christine sent. I did feel, gently shake and squeeze the gifts before popping them back in the Sack waiting to be opened Christmas day. We will be adding more gifts each month. Thanks Cheryll For running the SwapHave sent these blocks off to Gai. I received this lovely Christmas Swap Block from Leona with some great goodies.Loved my note with the smily face.

Thanks to both Christine and Leona for their gifts.

It has been a cold windy day today. So after my walk I spent most of the day inside.

Finished this tote.

Chatted on the phone. Sat and did lots of blog hopping.Several ladies had been baking so decided that was a good way to warm the place a little so made these for DH.

He loves ANZAC biscuits. Thanks Jenny for the recipe.

My DD2 sent this photo of my GD2. Stitching on the machine that was given to me for my 21st which I have now passed on to her.It will be nice if she has as much pleasure sewing on the Bernina as I did.

Last Saturday it was our Red Hatters monthly luncheon. thought I would share a few photos of the day.

My friend “Oscar” was getting too BIG for his pot. So my DH went off into town and bought a bigger pot to put him into.Oscar did not take too kindly to being moved and attacked poor DH.“OUCH” I think DH said a bit more than that. LOL.So off to the shed to get some protection and the trolley!! By now I was asked politely to put the CAMERA DOWN and give DH a hand. We wrapped the heavy cloth around Oscar and put him onto the trolley. Wheeled him onto the lawn where DH transplanted him. I hope he will be happy in his new home.

Now this guy “ Mr Hook” has given me the most beautiful display of flowers this year

BUT I do think he also needs a new pot . Don’t think DH is keen to move him right now though!!!

P.S Don't forget FNSI this week. June 17th.
